Adaption to a ketogenic diet leads to the production of ketone bodies for energy. Ketone bodies […]

Animal studies published in […]
Blood Sugar Control Is A Key Factor In COVID-19
Evidence That Blood Sugar Control Is A Key Factor In Immunity. Glucose control may be key for protection against COVID-19, especially for diabetes patients, since viruses tend to high jack cellular machinery to increase glycolysis. Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) not only promoted viral shedding and pathogenicity, but impairs immunity by disrupting function of white blood […]
